Important announcement: my 2009 waiting list is now open for a limited number of new clients. Please click here for more information.


How to Order


I always have a backlog of work to be done, and as a result maintain a waiting list. To get on the waiting list, call or email for instructions. At that time I put you on the list, and give you a rough idea of how long you may have to wait.

As I get close to your place in the line, I’ll call or email you. This will generally be a couple of weeks before the time that I actually need your gun(s), giving you enough time to get them ready to ship. At that point, I’ll give you the shipping address and my FFL number.

IMPORTANT: Do not send any guns to me until I request them - firearms arriving at my mailing address, or guns that I haven’t called for, will be refused delivery!


Service times
When you ship your gun, I will give you an estimate of delivery. Note the term “estimate”, not “guarantee”- service times vary with my workload, parts availability, weather at the shooting range, and other factors. I don’t do “rush jobs”- the quality of an action job can’t be rushed. (Important: I am not responsible for the schedules of suppliers; some Colt parts, for instance, are very difficult to get.)

Payment
Payment is due when the gun is finished, and before it is shipped back to you. I accept money orders, personal checks (checks will be held for clearance), and certain firearms in trade (ask for my current wants.) Shipping is always extra.
